G3-The greatest society event of the season in
Baltimore was the grand charity ball held in the
Academy of Music on Monday night 1t was in
allrespects brilliant social success and additional
interest was lent to it by the fact that President
Cleveland and wife, with several other ladies and
gentlemen prominent in official life in Washing
ton, were present, the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land leading the promenade, the latter accom-
panied by Mr.. Robert Garrett. The dressing of
the ladies was beautiful beyond description, and
altogether the ball was brilliant success. The
attendance was larger than at any previous ball
of the kind held in the city, showing that the
stand taken by some ministers of the Gospel
against charity balls had the effect to increase,
rather than diminish, the interest taken. A very
large sum of money will be realized, which will
be devoted to the relief of sickness and distress
among the deserving DOOR

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.

"A daughter was born to Mrs. Secretary Whit
ney on Sunday morning last.
Senator Sherman has been sinoe youth un-
obtrusive collector of great mems autographs.
"A daughter of Hon. Samuel j. Randall will
be married on the 4th of February, to Mr.. c. c.
Lancaster, of Prince Georges county, Md.
Congressman John E. Russell, of Massachu-
sets, thinks that the Bay State will be doubt
full one in 1888 if Cleveland is renominated by the
Democrats.
Postmaster General Villas is said to view with
disgust those toadying applicants for office who
are largely instrumental in having post-offces
named for him.
Senator Sawyer, who has just been REL elected
by the Wisconsin Republicans, is one of the best
friends Mrs. Cleveland has among the members of
the upper house.
Thus far the wife of Secretary Lamar has
remained in such strict seclusion that the Secre-
tary is being twtted by Washington friends with
having "married myth"
-Mrs. Voorhees,, wife of Senator Voorhees,, of
Indiana, died in Washington, on Friday afternoon
of last week, after only few days illness. Her
remains were taken to Indiana for interment
Mrs. Cleveland is said to be very fond of pets
and the latest addition to her collection is mon
key. The President is said to dislike these small
animals and he don't take kindly to having them
about the house.
The nineteenth annual session of the Woman's
on Tuesday, and is engineered by the same women
who have been engaged in the work for two or
three generations.
One of the prettiest sights to be seen in Wash
ington, says exchange, is Senator German, of
Maryland, and his little son walking down the
avenue hand in hand. They are almost insepa-
rable in the Senator's leisure hours.
Secretary Garland continues to keep alooi
from the social gaieties of Washington, and still
declines to participate in the festivities at the
White House. He is perhaps the only member of
Presidents Cabinet who has 80 persistently kept
out of social life.
One of the things that make life worth living
to Senator Van Wyck is piece of bread cut all
around the loaf and covered with sorghum at least
quarter in,h thick. ~ got in the habit Of eat
ing sorghum many years ago." he said recently,
"and couldn't eat butter now if tried"
Pension legislation continues to engross the
attention of Congress, and there is no telling where
it is going to stop but that stop 1t must, and that
very soon, is plainly manifest We believe the
Government is being systematically and outrage
ously robbed in tho name of pensions, and it is
time to call halt. Who will have the nerve to
do it? That's the question.
Something of o surprise has been oceasioned
at Washington by the discovery that the largo
gold medal given to General Grant for distinguish
ed services In the Mexican war, which is among
the medals placed In the National Museum, is
bogus All the Grant medals have been wei ghed
by the Smithsonian savants to test thair value,
and the Mexican medal has been found to possess
Q specific gravity of only seven, when it should
weigh about sixteen.

E3~W We will publish on the first page Of The
UNION next week the able and interesting report
of DR.. Jackson Piper chairman, and Drs. John
Morris and J. NJ. H. Bateman, of the State Board
af Health, on the drinking water of Towsontown
and Woodbury., samples of which were some
time ago analysed by Prof. Tonry, of Baltimore.
The report is lengthy and exhaustive document
and will we'll repay careful perusal by every
body. We publish it in full in the hope that the
valuable suggestions it contains may demonstrate
to all the dangers that Iurk in the use of bad
drinking water, and in order to wake the people
to realization of the fact that the use Of impure
water is the primary cause of much of the sickness
with which we have been visited. Science amply
demonstrates this fact, and if We would avoid
visitations of fevers dphtheria and other kindred
diseases must give attention to water supply
and see that it is kept free from contamination.

MM-A citizen, in a communication to the Eli
colt City Times, makes a singular argument for
the extension of the city limits. He wants Balti-
more city to take in the whole of Baltimore coun-
ty, so as to "drive into Howard and other adjoin-
ing counties a large number of wealthy citizens
who now reside in Baltimore county, in order to
avoid city taxes" This is the most refreshingy
original comment on much discussed question
yet made.-Baltimors American.
This certainly is very refreshing proposition
and the person who made it undoubtedly has more
than his share of gall. To wipe out Baltimore
county in order that Howard may profit by its ex-
tinction would be novel proceeding indeed, and
if this correspondent lives to see it done he will
have attained an age in comparison with which
Matheuselah would have been mere infant. Bal
timore county can allow its "bet" to 60 to the city
and it will still be one of the most populous and
wealthy counties in the State, but the idea of wip-
ing it out entirely is too absurd to merit mo-
ment's consideration.

ss~"We would suggest that it is unbecoming
in all county employees, and especially the police
force and members of the fire department, to take
SO conspicuous part In the interest of any fac.
ton or party at either primary meetings or gen.
eral elections, except in the iawfpi discharge of
their duty" This is the language of the late
Grand Jury report and the eminent propriety and
justice of it will at strike every fsir- minded
man, particularly as it applies to the police force
and fremen. No sensible person would wish to
interfere with the political rights of any officer,
but there is a great Difference between man ex-
ercising his right to vote he pleases and using
his official authority to induce or compel others
to follow his example. In other words, It's wrong
for policeman or fireman, who are paid by the
People, irrespective of.party, to take "conspicu
Gus part - the interest" of any party, because by
so doing he lessons his inluence for good in the
community and thereby iLcurs the enmity of some
whose good will and encouragementitisn necessary
for him to have. We hope the Grand Jury's sug-
;estion will pot be allowed to pass unheeded.

MN~Dr Charles M. Ellis, who lately made an
examination of the town of Elkton, Cecil county,
with the view of determining the cause of the ex-
istence of contagious diseases there, has made
a report in which every town and village in the
State is interested He cites causes of unhealth-
fulness in that place the overcrowding of habita-
tions, the presence of pig-pens, the Strengthening
of cattle "with the most reckless disregard of all
decency," and the saturation of the soil with
household filth, ccntaminating the water supply.
These fruitful sources of disease, says the Balti
more Sun, are not peculiar to Elkton alone, but
are common to most of the towns In the State, and
call loudly for abatement. DIR. Ellis thinks a
general code of sanitary laws for the State should
be enacted. In the meantime, however, until some
such remedy is provided, the residents of the diff
ferent towns could themselves bring about very
great improvement by converting few simple
measures of publication and combining among
themselves to put them into execution.
